Verlly, the farmers oE EarnveI! Should
be proud OF their Senator, lie IS such q
pink OF consistency. and SO logical II his
statements. The people have not for
gotten that showed that our State taxes
were $500, 600 more in s. than in 80, OF
that the Legislature reduced the taxes
one mill 2t the last session without re
ducing expenditures, thus acAnowic0g-

though, where bra%e-! assertion passes
for fact. mother OF that very series OF
resolutions states, and the November
Convention reiterated tie complaint,
that the inspection OF fertilizers is de-
fectiye. and 10 adequate punishment
provided for fraud" Both Conventions
passed these resolutions unanimously.
and there is more fault found with the
bureau on this very point than any
other.
Notwithstanding its own analysis
showed deficiencies in many brands Of
fertilizers, Notwithstanding numerous
and repeated complaints made tC the t;e-
partment Of gaano shipped without tags,
Cur teIder-hea1ted Commissioner has
never ''contiscated' a single ton that ever
l heard OF, or prosecuted 4 single
offender. The poor farmer who sought
redress has been consoled in being in
formed that she himself was liable 20 IN
dictment for receiving the guano. and
tie plain letter Of the Law and his own
regulations have been ignored by the
official sworn to execute them. The de-
partment is run seemingly to please the
railroads and fertilizer companies and
phosphate niners. It is agriculture"
only il name 1t and the agricultural
annex to the South Carolina College are
the two humbugs Of tie age.
